According to the police, the incident took place around 9:22 a.m. when four unidentified men knocked on the door of Mohammed Shakir Ali’s residence. Once the door was opened, they forced their way in and held Shakir and his wife at knifepoint. The accused broke open an almirah inside the house and made away with gold and silver ornaments, cash, and two mobile phones.

All six were taken into custody within four days of the crime.
Police registered the case under Sections 310(2) and 311 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Rajendranagar Police Station. The investigation led to the recovery of two knives used during the offence, two Redmi mobile phones stolen from the complainant, a white Swift Dzire car used in the escape, and the looted gold and silver ornaments.
